Examples of curvature

There's also the danger of scoliosis, a curvature of the spine and heart issues.

Over time, spinal fractures can cause loss of height and curvature of the spine.

The shape effect is relevant to the change in the curvature of a survival curve.

The rising sun and the curvature of the earth can be seen behind the spacecraft.

It is natural to define the curvature of a straight line to be identically zero.

- (medicine) a curving or bending; often abnormal; "curvature of the spine"
- The rate of change (at a point) of the angle between a curve and a tangent to the curve
- The property possessed by the curving of a line or surface
- In mathematics, curvature refers to any of a number of loosely related concepts in different areas of geometry. ...
- The shape of something curved; The extent to which a subspace is curved within a metric space; The extent to which a Riemannian manifold is intrinsically curved
- A measure of the rate of change in an option's delta for a one-unit change in the price of the underlying stock. See also Delta
- Let C be a curve and let P be a point on C. Let N be the normal at P and let O be the point on N which is the limit of where the normal to C at P' intersects N as P' tends to P. O is the centre of curvature at P and PO is the radius of curvature at that point.
- The deviation of an object or of space or of spacetime from a flat form and therefore from the rules of geometry codified by Euclid.
- In Riemannian geometry, usually means the intrinsic curvature of a manifold with a Riemannian metric. The curvature at a point is positive (negative) if the sum of the angles of a small approximate triangle at that point is greater than (less than) 180 degrees.
